Let's continue in English...

Hey readers!

I just decided, to switch a language, because there are more of you who can't speak Czech, than those who can't read it in English... Hurray! :)

So what have I done in last days? I finally started doing my job in ICAT.















And started getting to know my colleagues and, and other new people.. There is something like 50 employees in the company - most of them teach, than there is a lot of marketing staff (like I am) :) As I already mentioned every day I go everyday to job by Angkot (local public transportation) I really love this - it stops whenever you wave, goes maybe every minute and is amazingly cheep (my trip costs $0,2). From work I have always (till now) gone with my colleague Heni on motorbike - I ride it in this random traffic (no speed limits, no defined rights of way at crossroads or cars respecting the lanes). But don't worry - even some 10 years (or I don't know) old kids ride these here. :-D




















As mentioned I am doing international marketing - currently mostly learning about the product (Bachelor educational programs) and do what is need - I have held 2 classes to students or just today went to present ICAT to one high school with the rest of marketing team (bellow)..





And finally as I promised last time - how do local people see us Europeans? :)
If there is a white guy who is quite tall (is called "bule" - they consider us as kind of superstars. :) It so often happens, that you just or are somewhere and young girls around start calling you, yelling, being ashamed and hiding and so on.. It's fun.
Anyway generally everyone behaves really well and to "bule" people even twice - nothing to complain. :-D

ps: I am still waiting for the picture with celebrity, so I'll post it next time.. ;)

Take care and enjoy your climate here is some 27 Degrees. ;)

ps: some more Bundung pictures (I'd post some with the omnipresent mess too, but they don't look as good as others. :) )

Po prvních dnech..

Chu, tak jsem tu s prvními zážitky z Indonésie. :)
Mám za sebou téměř ctyri dny a začínám si zvykat na to jak to tu chodí...

Je to docela sranda - bydlím v takovém "ubytovacím domě" s dvěma Holanďanama, jedním Švédem a bandou Indonésanů.. Každý má svůj pokoj a jinak je všechno společné... Největší zážitek tam jsou asi sprchy, protože tam se člověk akorát polévá studenou vodou, kterou nabírá z k tomu urcene casti koupelny. :)
















Tohle jsou dva Indonezsti AIESECari a praktikant z Holandska
v jednom z tamnich nakupnich center















Tady jedna fotka mesta (Bandungu)

Dalsi takova dost divoka vec je mestska hromadna doprava. Zajistuji ji minibusy ( jako ten zeleny na obrazku nahore), ktere vzdy zastavi na mavnuti a na porkik "kiri, kiri" zase nechaji vystoupit... Plati se, podle dojmu, jak dlouho clovek jel a cena je od nejakych 2 do 5 korun za svezeni. :-D

No a tohle je muj dum. Eghm, tak ne...
Tohle je sidlo zastupitelstva zapadni casti ostrova (west Java), ale jinak moje ubytko je taky super - pokoj ma sice asi jen nejakych 8 metru ctverecnich, ale pak jsou tam velke spolecne prostory a vsichni jsou fakt pratelsti...




Priste vam poslu moji fotku s Indonezskou celebritou
a prozradim, jak se tady maji evropani. :)
Zatim
